Theory for Today's Musician w/ Musical Example CD-ROM

Ralph Turek

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2006

Don't Bother
Unless this is a required textbook for a music degree (as was the case for me), don't bother giving this textbook a second look. Although it covers the basics of music theory right up through in-depth theoretical analysis, the difficult-to-understand directions and ...
